Northern Regional Planning Panel

Planning Panels were introduced in NSW on 1 July 2009 to strengthen decision making on regionally significant development applications (DAs) and certain other planning matters. The Planning Panels are independent bodies. Determinations made by the Planning Panels are not subject to the direction of the Minister for Planning.

The Planning Panels determine regionally significant development applications (DAs), certain other DAs and s4.55(2) and s4.56 modification applications, act as the Planning Proposal Authority (PPA) when directed, undertake rezoning reviews, provide advice on other planning and development matters when requested, and determine site compatibility certificates under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Housing for Seniors or People with a Disability) 2004.
